Saint Fan CaM

Excellent stats. Telling point was how we will defo struggle to keep him if we go down (which we won't).

No smoke without fire? I thought MP was friendly with RDM anyway so perhaps he was a guest of MP's? Di Matteo would be an outstanding appointment, but my feeling is he is working in an unofficial consultative manner.

Mmm, don't like this one bit - I think we could easily go up there and get caught napping (again) - just the sort of team we don't do well against. 2-1 to Norwich.

Excellent news and well deserved by KD. He loves the club and Southampton too - not just a club stalwart but now a loyal resident. If you watch his interviews on Saintsplayer he really comes across as an extremely credible bloke and I can imagine that he provides much to the team even when playing a back-up role. Best of luck for the future with Saints KD.

This. Completely. Anyone who thinks Surman is in anyway vital to Norwich's campaign is frankly being a complete mong (just falling into line with usual SW protocol here you understand).

It'll be between QPR, Reading, Villa, Saints, Wigan, Sunderland and possibly even Wet Sham (still reckon they'll drop down). Loads to play for yet.

Next you'll be telling us he was bought for the Championship! lol

Can't single out just one from yesterday - it was an alround rubbish team performance. Even the peoples darling Lambert was awful and didn't look interested some of the time.

Agreed. I'm in section 4 BTW.

I don't think he's going anywhere soon. He provides exactly the style of play that is desired by NC. Trouble is, like Adkins before him, he has limited options in the players available to him to deliver. He's finding out some key issues - it's how he reacts that counts. Can't see us going down, but Lambert and some others need to step up to the plate and put in some consistent shifts.

Yep - agree.

Well yes exactly, but will he react well to not playing consistently? Fact is waiting until the summer is probably a good thing.

Alpine - I am shocked...never would have you down for a Daisy dip kid! I grew up in the 70's in the flower roads and spent many hours playing footie or scrapping in and around Daisy dip. Can't say it was the happiest of times though - thankfully my parents managed to move to a nicer place.

Yep agree with this fully. I think he's an asset but there could be better available to MP in the summer.

There's very little chance of any of the most prolific posters answering your comments, unless you've been highly abusive. Also, that there is absolutely no middle ground - every subject is either good/bad, black/white, right/wrong, agree/you're a mong...etc.

Oh I don't think it will set you back for too long...oh look I was right...

You know exactly what he means Turkish - your sarcasm knows no bounds and is frankly way past funny now. Sorry if that's given you a wake up call you were not expecting.

Yeah, let's do it - what's the problem? Football is all about getting lathered up, throwing stuff at the oppo supporters and sometimes the players too, spilling half a pint over the idiots in front of you, then getting out the ground for damn good brawl with either the oppo supporters or indeed the old bill too. Yeah, let's turn back the hands of time and throw all the 'family values' bull that's plagued this club for too long. Anyone who disagrees with this must be a mentalist namby pamby loser. (Turkish will be proud of me).

Turkish went to Old Trafford?!?

Most of you lot are so short-sighted it's untrue. The plans for this club are massive - really massive - in 10 years time we will be undistinguishable from the club we were at the foot of L1. Sit back and be smug in the knowledge that you've been a part of the climb.

Would love to see Benteke in our squad as Rickie understudy. Would do really well with us.

Yeah, but they had an off-day. Lol

Top post Sir - agree wholeheartedly.

Chappers is OK for cover at this point in time. Sure when we're pushing for a Euro slot we'll need better.

To the tune of Bob Marley song... Saints got the Sheriff, And Rickie is his Deputy, Saints got the Sheriff, Gonna shoot up the Prem you'll see.
